American Meadows Five Spot Seeds

Five Spot, or Nemophila maculata, is a petite wildflower that reaches a mature height of 4 to 6 inches. Because of their low-growing habit, they are excellent for edging, rock gardens, or filling in the front of a flower bed.

Yes, Five Spot is very container-friendly. Their compact size makes them ideal for window boxes, pots, or hanging baskets where you can easily enjoy their unique purple-spotted blooms up close.

They are quite versatile and thrive in both full sun and partial shade. While they enjoy sunlight, they appreciate a bit of relief in hotter climates, making them a great choice for areas with mixed light conditions.

Five Spot is an annual, meaning it completes its entire life cycle—from germination to seed production—in a single growing season. You will need to replant them each spring, though they may naturalize in your garden if they drop seeds.

These wildflowers prefer average soil that stays consistently moist. They do not like to dry out completely, so ensure your planting site or container has regular access to water, especially during warmer spring and summer days.

Absolutely. Five Spot is a pollinator-friendly plant that attracts beneficial insects to your garden. By planting them, you are providing a valuable nectar source for bees and other pollinators in your local ecosystem.
